Rust removal via chemical means

I dont worry about toxic or explosive fumes from the molasses water mixture, and i'm not using electricity either. Granted the electrolysis method is probably faster, but with this i can drop the parts in, and not have to fool with them for a week or 2. Just pull em out rinse off, dry and paint.

Safety
Normally molasses is quite safe to handle, but if water has entered the tank fermentation may have taken place with the generation of carbon dioxide gas, which is asphyxiating and alcohol vapour, which is flammable.
